Quick rant on QB extension overreaction.... People freak out because a guy like Tannehill gets $16 million or Russell Wilson wants $20 million. What do people think is fair then? If Tannehill gets $12 million/year are people saying its fair? If so, in terms of roster construction that $4 million/year can go to pay a guy like Chris Culliver, Charles Woodson, James Laurinitis. That's the caliber of player you're looking at with $4 million. So you're missing out on one player like that to sign your quarterback.

You can go bargain-bin QB and allocate money elsewhere if you want... Brian Hoyer ($5.2 mil), Mark Sanchez ($3.75 mil), Kyle Orton ($5.4 million), Ryan Fitzpatrick ($3.3 mil) and then allocate $10-12 million to a star player at another position. That will land you a guy like Julius Peppers, Julius Thomas, Branden Albert, etc.

Give me the security of a good QB in that $16-20 mil range, even higher if I need to if he's a legit star like Russell Wilson all day over spending that money on upgrades at less important positions.

That money is being spent anyway, spend it on the player that brings the most value to your team.
